Iconic Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwo, widely recognized as Mama G, recently addressed why she is frequently cast as a villain in Nollywood productions. In a conversation with influencer Carter Efe, she discussed the reasoning behind these recurring roles.
Ozokwo believes her talent for playing antagonistic characters is a divinely inspired gift. She emphasized that she personally opposes injustice, conflict, and hostility, which drives her to commit fully to these roles to highlight the nature of evil.
For Ozokwo, portraying such figures serves a moral purpose. She aims to show audiences the inevitable consequences of leading a malicious life while contrasting that with the rewards of moral integrity. She views her acting as a method of providing social education, ensuring that viewers understand the ethical outcomes of their choices.
